Evaluation

Magicite launched out of Early Access on June 9, 2014 and received regular updates through 2016. On August 31, 2016, the developer Sean Young published a post explicitly titled "Magicite v2.0 (Final Update)," stating unambiguously: "This is the final update for Magicite." The post explained that as a solo developer he needed to move on to new projects for his own well-being and creative growth. The update itself added a new companion, a new game mode, and a variety of balance and networking improvements — rounding out the game's content before closure. No further content has been released or announced since that date. The game remains available for purchase and is considered a complete, finished product.

Indie RPG Roguelike Pixel Graphics 2D Action Roguelike Adventure Platformer Crafting Perma Death Action Survival Difficult Roguelite Sandbox

About this game

Explore, craft, and survive in this Multiplayer RPG Platformer with permanent death! Featuring many Rogue-like elements, Magicite randomly generates each underground dungeon for you and your friends to delve deep into. Chop trees, mine ores, and hunt beasts in order to collect the resources and materials you need to survive the harsh and unforgiving environment. With a ton of character traits, stats, companions, and classes, players will have a different experience each play through! Be prepared to die... A LOT.

Magicite's main influences were Monster Hunter and Spelunky. I loved the resource collection and crafting in Monster Hunter, and of course fighting giant monsters with my friends. Spelunky's brutal yet rewarding platforming was also something that I wanted to capture with Magicite.

Features:

Randomly Generated Dungeons - Experience a new dungeon each time you play. Expect tons of trees to chop, ores to mine, plants to harvest, and bugs to catch! Oh and giant monsters.
Permanent Death - The game logs all of your stats in a play through, leading the way for achievements and upgrades.
Crafting System - Combine any two items to create a new one! For example, Wood + Wood = Plank. There are tons of combinations to discover!
Combat System - If you plan on just running in and swinging you sword, you're gonna get wrecked. Take time to craft useful items and examine enemy positioning before executing a well timed attack.
Unlockable Races, Hats, & Companions - The more you play, more greater chance you'll unlock awesome new hats with a variety of special effects. Races and Companions can also be unlocked to provide different starting items and stats!
Multiplayer - Want to put your friendships to the test? This is the game to do it! Permanent death only occurs when the ENTIRE party has fallen. So if your buddy gets knocked out feel free to run over and help him back up. Or not...
